sournaiism Does Not Compare Unfavor<
 ably with Other Professions.
 Ever since newspapers had an existence the poverty of the newspaper writer has been a provero. The cause of this Is a mystery, but It probably lies in the fact that barely a cen. tury ago newspaper was an expensive and generally a foolish experiment., while the lawyer, the minister and the doctor had their financial status and assured income.
 The subject S discussed intelligently in that able organ of newspaper men, The Journalist, which takes the obvious, but unusual. ground that newspaper work is as well paid today as the work Of any other trade or profession. This Is true, as every newspaper man knows who stops tO think Thousands of youuo doctors, ministers ant lawyers are struggling Tor chance to live, but reporter with any ability and industry can get Sl5 week, which is twice as much as bare support re- quireS.
 Nor does journalism compare unfavorahly with other professions as to the higher prizes of skill and mental equipment. The eOmpeti- tion fof these is sharp, and it would be much sharper were 1t not for the intemperate hnbits of % many talented fellows, who are paOdd to call themselves "POhemians.H and who rapidly drop out of sight in the survival of the Attest
 There are some hundreds of newspapef writers in this country who receive a salary of $500 apiece, not counting proprietors who frequently become rich through their newspapers alone; and as to saving and ac. cumulating, the class of writers above emu. meratsd will compare favOrably with the leaders of any guild It would not be difIi. cult to mention 100 American newspaper writers who are to-day worth s25 900 apiece, and have made it exclusively from the result of savings from their salaries, and the full list would doubtless aggregate several times as many.
 Successful journalism demands peculiar qualities, but The Journalist is correct in de claring that, for the young man who pos seSses them, there Is no human field that offers more attractions. Washington Post.

Alaska MastOdOns.

1t is known that enormous hairy ele-
plants or mastodons once lived in
Siberia and Alaska. Not only are
their remains abundant, but the car
cases of the animals preserved in pre-
historic icebergs have been recovered
and it is from these models that nat
uralists have reproduced the interest
ing fabrications such as that exhibited
here at the late Worlds exposition. In
the period when those animals lived
there the climate was doubtless much
warmer than at present, as then the
Mississippi valley was in all probable
ity a vast estuary extending to the
Arctic Ocean, and through it the Gulf
stream, which now flows out through
the straits of Florida, then found its
heated waters mitigating the polar
climate as it now does that of Eng
land. When the continent was lifted
above the waters the sources of heat
were withdrawn, and the northern re-
gions were locked in ice, catastrophe
which the hairy elephants could not
survive.
In the face of this suppOsitious sci
ence, some miners who have been pros
pecting in Alaska have returned to San
Francisco and report that the Stickene
river Indians declare that the mastO-
don still lives there and had been seen
by them. One of the Indians said that
while hunting one day in that unknown
section he came across an immense
track sunk to depth of several inches
in moss. 1t much resembled an ele-
plants track, but was larger around
than barrel. The Indian followed
up this curious track, which to all APP
pearances was very fresh, tracking
from one immense stride to another a
distance of some miles, when he came
in full view of his game. The hunter
gave one look, then turned and fed.
These Indians as rule are the bravest
hunters. With no other weapon than
their spear they will attack and kill a
grizzly, but the immense proportions
of this new style of game both startled
and filled the hunter, brave as he was,
with great fear. He described it as
looking larger than Post Trader Har-
per's store, with great shining, yellow
ish tusks and mouth large enough TO
swallow him in a single gulp. He
said the animal was doubtless similar
to those which furnished the immense
bones scattered over that section.
Since the introduction of American
whisky into Alaska the poor savages
will soon be placed in condition to
see all sorts of monsters. One thing
is certain-there are no snakes there.

Following His Masters Boots.

Some very interesting experiments
were recently made in England to de-
termine how it is the dog is enabled to
follow the trail of his master. A gem
tleman used for a series of tests a
pointer with which he had hunted for
several years. Every precaution was
taken TO preventive dogs being guided
by ANYTHING but the sense of smell. The
hunter, with his hunting boots on,
first walked about a mile over the
grass, turning in various directions,
and then hid himself. The dog, not
having seen him of course, was
brought to the starting place, when he
at once took the trail and followed 1t
rapidly and accurately until he found
his master. The hunter then headed
a procession of twelve persons walk
ing Indian file, each man being care
full to place his feet in the footprints OF
the man preceding him. After walk
ing 200 yards the hunter turned to the
right, followed by one-half OF the men,
and the other half turned to the left.
Each party made number of turns
and detours and then concealed them
selves. The dog, when put on the
trail, followed it promptly and at the
point of separation, without moments
hesitation, turned to the right, as his
master had done.
A stranger to the dog then put on
the masters hunting boots, and after
the same precautions the dog followed
his tracks as quickly as he had fol-
lowed his masters. When the master
wore the boots of the stranger the dog
would not follow, nor would he fol-
low the trail of the stranger when he
walked with naked feet, but he did
follow his master under the same con-
ditions. though slowly and with much
hesitation. The hunter tried wearing
new boots, and the dog refused alb
solutely to follow. He then resumed
his hunting boots, after FASTING paper
under the soles and along the sides;
but the dog paid no attention to the
trail until point was reached where
a very small piece of the paper had
fallen from the boot; from that on
the trail was followed rapidly.
In the last experiment the hunter,
with his hunting boots on, free OF
paper, walked fifty yards, and then
drew off his boots and walked 300
wards barefooted, but holding his
boots, he walked 300 yards more. The
dog, when placed on the trial, fol-
lowed the whole distance without any
hesitation.

CID Tecumseh's Way.

General William r. Sherman, after
the theater one night, boarded a Frank
Ign avenue car with some ladies, all of
whom found seats except one. At the
upper end of the car was a little darby,
with hands in pockets and a great deal
of whites of his eyes showing The
General caught sight of him, and, tax
ing him by the collar, stood him up
against the door, half frightened and
certainly ignorant of the otfense which
he had given the tall gray-bearded hero
of the March to the Sea. Then the
lady sat down. After the car had pro
cecded few blocks a gentleman va
Gated seat and got out. Somebody
called the Generals attention to the
fact, and he, in the presence of the
whole carful of passengers, took the
young darky in his arms, carried him
to the seat, and dumped him into it.
Having given up his seat to a lady the
darby was entitled to the first vacan-
cy, and old Tecumseh saw that he got
it.-St, Louis Post Dispatch.
